I'm hoping to compile a list of details for those of us who haven't applied or been accepted yet, so that we know who we can ask questions to about specific schools and programs - are you in? :) What school do you go to (and where is that?)? What pro...

Hello everyone! I start Micro on January 12th - very nervous! What textbook are you guys using? I need to get ours still - it's: Tortora Microbiology and the Leboffe Lab Manual. Good luck! Study hard! Izzy

Hi there! I was born and raised in San Diego and have lived there for the last 28 years - I just recently moved up to the bay area and miss it very much! Please send me a PM to discuss anything I can fill you in on about San Diego. It's my favorite...

I don't have anything to add here, but just wanted to say that I am going to their preview day on November 5th to find out more about their Direct Entry Masters Program to become a FNP and also their PA program, just out of curiosity since I'm at a c...

This sounds like everything I'm constantly thinking about! The issue of when to have a family, how that would work while I was in med school... it's all so much to think about, but honestly, I think I would just be overall much happier as a NP or PA...

Great question... I am in the same boat with the same questions.... let's bump this up for more responses! :) Izzy

Thanks again Buttons. I'm a perspective nursing student... I will start pre-reqs in January. :) Obviously I have a lot to learn! What specialty do you work in? :) Izzy

Hey everyone... I had a wisdom tooth removed and am still having problems so finally I took a Tylenol with Codeine earlier (8 hours ago!) and just noticed that I have an itchy rash on my neck, jaw, chest and upper back. Do you feel there is any real...

Thanks you guys. I ended up at the ER this morning because even after the Benadryl, things continued to get worse. They gave me a shot of benadryl and a shot of adrenaline, as well as a Rx for steroids. I still have the rash that's red and has the...

Ok, I called the on-call doctor and got advice - thanks for the kick in the butt - I needed it. I'm off to buy Benadryl. I don't know why rashes freak me out so badly, my boyfriend thinks I'm being silly. Anyway, thanks again... I really appreciate ...

Ok thanks - I'll just watch it and see how it goes. So strange that it surfaced 8 hours after taking the medicine. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks Buttons! I have a Benadryl Allergy on hand (looks like it treats sinus problems and such) - will that be ok?

I spend so much time reading on this forum, I thought I would start a topic where I just sort of spill my thoughts as they occur to me. I need some way to get all these swirling thoughts out of my brain! :) Feel free to read my ramblings or not, an...

Hi katyosu2006 - I hope I do too! I'm just hoping that I find these courses so darn interesting that I can't help but get an A. :chuckle Thanks! Izzy

Thanks so much for the advice Malia! Depending on how much I get figured out before I start prereqs next semester, I may just take 1 hard science and then something easier, if I figure out I have the time. I really need A's on my prereqs, so I can'...

Do you think it's too much to take A&P I and Micro in a single semester, given that I also work? I have lots of prereqs to do, but need to focus on the ones that all schools I'm applying to require, which of course is A&PI, A&PII and Mic...

So I had a wisdom tooth removed about 2 hours ago, and it started making me think about CRNA, not because I had a general, but well, I don't know, it just did. I think becoming a CRNA is just the ultimate challange -- not only getting through school...

Thanks for your reply -- I hear that a lot about not jumping into something too quickly, especially with getting a FNP. Maybe just one more reason to look more into the Accelerated BSN option! Thanks again! Izzy

Excellent questions Tamm! I'm glad to see so such positive responses! :)

So I just wanted to share that I have orientation tonight to volunteer at a local clinic... I'm really excited and I'm sure this will be great experience for me! Happy Monday! Izzy

That sounds like a great program, unfortunately as a non-nurse, they just don't have online programs for people like me. Great to post out there to other nurses though, who may not know about this program yet! :-) Izzy

What a great idea to simply talk with the admission officer! Once I know where I would like to go, I will do this for sure. Please let me know how that goes for you and how you feel about it. Even being in the preparation stages is very exciting f...

Hi Curlyfries! Thanks for posting! I'm struggling with a not so stellar undergrad cummulative GPA myself - 2.85 I think, so I will have an equally difficult struggle, as most schools I'm looking at ask for at least 3.0. I need to try to compensate ...

Thanks everyone for posting so far! I can't wait to get going with all my prereqs, volunteering, etc. :) Izzy

Thank you very much Daytonite! I checked out their website, but it doesn't offer it there. The publication is $30, so I think I'll have to ask around to see if anyone has a copy! Thank you! What I'm really interested in is people's individual ex...
